"The more centers that sign up, the more robust the program can become. Well, then let's get everyone signed up! The more robust, the better!"

Participation » Referral Program

We would like to inform you of the opportunity to save money on your future renewal fees by referring other center owners to sign up for our program. Since starting the web site program in July 2008, over 1892 centers have brought their stores online with The UPS Store Center Web Site Program! Centers have been sharing their Web site success stories with us through emails, phone calls and by meeting with us at Co-op, area and region meetings. This new program is an opportunity for you to share your success with other center owners and receive a discount when they sign up from your referral.

Rules & Requirements

• Program Details: For each store that signs up for a center Web site and lists your name in the referring franchisee field of the sign up form, you will receive $50 off of your future renewal fees. For each store that signs up for both a center Web site and WES Pro and lists your name in the referring franchisee field of the sign up form, you will receive $100 off your future renewal fees. The more referrals, the more money you'll save.
• Eligibility: The referral program is open to all center owners who have a Web site through the program with 50 Below. This is also a great way for MCO's to save some money while bringing all of their stores online.
• Restrictions: In order for your referral to qualify, the new center must sign up for the center Web Site, and must choose the annual payment option. You will not receive credit if they select the monthly payment option. In order to receive $100 off your future renewal fees, the new center must sign up for WES Pro at the same time they sign up for their center Web site.
• Program Dates: The referral program started on September 8, 2008. We reserve the right to end the referral program at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I refer multiple centers?
  The more centers who sign up and list you as their "referring franchisee" the more money you'll save on your future renewal fees. Currently, renewal fees are $360. If you refer 1 center Web site, your fees next year will be $310. If you refer 1 center Web site with WES Pro, your renewal fee will be $260 and so on. (fees based on current renewal fee of $360 as of May 1, 2009)
  
• I've already referred centers to sign up. Do those count?
  We appreciate your support and hope you will continue to refer additional Centers to sign up. The referral program became effective on September 8, 2008 and it will continue until all centers are participating in the Web site program.
  
• Does this mean my renewal fee changes?
  Currently, renewal fees are $360. If you provide one qualifying Web site only referral, you will only be charged $310 next year. If you provide one qualifying Web site with WES Pro referral, you will only be charged $260 next year. Since the referral credit amount for each referral can only be used once, your renewal fees will return to the published renewal fee at the time of your next renewal.
• I'm an MCO. Can I refer my other stores?
  ABSOLUTELY! This program is a great way for you to bring all of your stores online and save on your future renewal fees.
  
• Can I just get cash instead?
  The $50 discount only counts towards future annual renewal fees and possible enhancement products through 50 Below. There is no cash value.
